Today we welcome 5 more cousins to The Squad, being 4 Americans and 1 Canadian. This takes us to 116 in number!That's 116 cops and ex-cops who have taken to writing crime fiction. You won't get more realistic crime tales than those from this Squad!It seems every time I decide to do a bit of a trawl online for this project, I find more members. I've several more to add in the next few days.​So, we have joining us today:1. William Nikkel (US) - served in the Kent County Sheriff's Department in California.2. Lisa Preston (US) - served, I believe, in the Alaska Police.​3. David Putnam (US) - served in the police in California (LA, I think).4. Bernard Schaffer (US) - still a serving police officer with the Warrington Township PD.5. S.M. Freedman (Canada) - worked as a PI in her previous life.

I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line.

Check out The Squad:Also: Cops Writing Crime​And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is).​​Cheers,ABP
